The Scottish Football Association has appointed Manchester United coach Brian McClair as its performance director.
The former United, Celtic and Scotland striker joins the SFA after 13 years on the coaching staff at Old Trafford.
McClair, 51, leaves his post as director of United's youth academy to replace Mark Wotte, who vacated the post at Hampden last October.
The SFA says McClair, who takes up his role on June 1, was "identified unanimously as the preferred candidate" during a recruitment process which involved Scotland coach Gordon Strachan and former Scotland bosses Walter Smith and Andy Roxburgh.
McClair said: "I am extremely proud to have been given the responsibility to help Scottish football move forward.
“I am sure my experiences can be of benefit to Scottish football and, having spent the majority of the last 30 years in England with Manchester United, I am looking forward to coming home."
